St. Croix Live Cam

St. Croix is an island in the Caribbean Sea, which has a rich history that dates back to the pre-Columbian era. The island has been inhabited by various indigenous groups, including the Arawaks and Caribs. Christopher Columbus discovered the island in 1493 on his second voyage to the Americas, and it was subsequently colonized by the Spanish and French.

In the mid-17th century, the Dutch West India Company established a colony on St. Croix and brought African slaves to work on sugar plantations. The island changed hands several times between the Dutch, French, British, and Danish before becoming a Danish colony in 1754.

During the colonial period, St. Croix was a major center for sugar production and the slave trade. The island's economy was heavily dependent on these industries, and the slaves who worked on the plantations were subjected to brutal conditions.
